Checking in on a Sunday. Iām trying to prioritize my day to deal with the most important things first, especially since Monday and Tuesday are my mega commute days and I will be too tired to do much at the end of the day. I mostly have to do house chores so I wonāt bore you. And I need to go for a walk. If I do that before my 12:30 meeting I will be in really, really good shape and feeling good. I can sit on my butt all afternoon if I want after that. Have a good and sober day/night!

Day 114.
Whew so lifeās been doing all kinds of funky shit at the moment.
Iām still sober so thatās good. Otherwise Iām having a lot of people in my life rn that are facing difficult challenges.
I try to be there for them because I care about these wonderful humans but itās just everthing at once and thatās overwhelming.
Otherwise nothing new to report. Life takes itās course and Iām somewhere in the middle of that.
Take care everyone. Wonāt update daily anymore but Iām still checking the site ervery day.
Itās just not how I communicate atm.
Stay safe and enjoy whatās left of the weekend^^

I was thinking about pot today after work because of the stress level here at work and at home
I feel like today, everything i did wrong this past year and a few mistakes at work came back to me in the form of irradiated people.
Today i was told by my grandparent in law i can dissapoint him with all these little things i do or forget to do
Thrn the beginning of the day at work was stress out the gate
Then i talked to my wife at lunch and she communicated she would like me to br more present in the tasks of the baby and with the baby
I ligit felt like i had no1 and pot wont hurt and will actually help me rest
I told my wife i thought weed sounded like a good relese and recover from days like today. She said im a grown man and can mske my own choices
Then i thought of all the support i get here snd you all and how i feel when i relese my stresses over talking sober snd the advicecand help youve all given. I thought relesing and recovering on here is better then pot
So i messaged my wife snd said i dont want thc and we got this and dhe said ok i love you then i came here to vent.
Works almost over
My backup showed up after all day by myself
I WILL BE OK
WE GOT THIS
Heres to going through difficult times sober

Wow! What a day ur having! But ur handling it like a boss! Uv come such a long way and are doing things differently now. Ur right! U dont need pot to cope. Bcuz we all know where using leads us and how it makes us feel afterwards. Guilt and shame and disgust and dissappointment. We are here for u friend 
Stay strong in ur decision as u go about ur day

Me too. Itās part of what made me an addict too. Finding my own path, not relying on anybody, do it all myself. Part of change and recovery (discovery) for me is to learn to accept help. Learn there are limits to what we can do on our own.
I think itās very nice you have a friend willing to help you in this way. And I think itās not even pride that makes it so hard for folks like us to accept any help including financial.
Letās speak for myself. Itās the fear for people wanting something in return for their help. For being dependent on another. For falling short in taking care of myself because I have to rely on someone else. Someone else who is not to be trusted anyway. I think itās very good to accept some help from your friend. And be grateful for it

Yes thank you for noticing ive come a long way. I only have 38 days streight no weed. Ive used every excuse possible to pick up. I know for a fact when i pick up pot or when im activity smoking it, my rock bottom is a puff away. It NEVER ENDS UP GOOD. its even kind of funny how that works for me. Pot is a huge trigger for me for some odd reason

I havenāt checked in in a few days. Iāve had terrible internet and cell service lately, but itās been kinda nice to feel āoff the gridā for a little bit. Day 26 for me today! Itās been a great sober weekend. My fiancĆ© has been part of a beer league softball team for a few years now. Itās been a huge part of how we spend our weekends in the summer. As his biggest cheerleader, I was always drinking while cheering on the guys. This past weekend was a true test for meā¦ heās played in 5 games since Thursday night and Iāve gone to every single one. Surrounded by everyone drinking. I even had people offering me free drinks when the games went into extra innings. I stood my ground and politely declined. I held strong to my sobriety and Iām so proud.

Just about to lay down. Yesterday I slept for three hours after an early morning and I have since been up for 22 more hours.
.Iām so happy to be able to go to bed early. Even if it is only for a few hours!
I saw the new twisters movie. It was good, but I was so tired I almost fell asleep a few times 
But now Iām home. Yay!

Day 14. I have had a very busy day. Done all of the housework, went for a run, cut my lawn and some other bits. In preperation for my kids arriving tomorrow for a week. I actually took a moment on a couple of occasions today. I stopped, smiled and thought being sober is amazing. Itās been a tough few months personally, but Iām seeing the light today. I wish I could bottle that feeling up and give it to someone who needs it. For those still struggling, donāt give up.
